FOUND GUILTY.
fingers Thrilling Story Of How
He Killed Bohle.
The Jury Return a Verdict Of
Manslaughter,
And the Prisoner is Sentenced
to Twenty Years.
A Miserable Man.

New YORK, Feb. L. In the trial of
Capt. Edward Unger to day for tho muir
der of Louis Bohle. whose body the de-
PENDANT confessed to Inspector Bvrnes he
had cut up and shipped to Baltimore in a
trunk, Unger related in an intensely real
istic manner the circumstances of the
murder, closing with a repetition of his
confession. His manner impressed the
spectators to some degree with the just
ness of the theory of self defense, the
violence of Bohle being dramatically illus
trated. Unger related the night of hor-
ror which passed while the body OF Bohle
was behind the cot. He had a fitful sleep,
broken by horrible dreams, and in each
of them Bohle appeared standing at his
bed. Unger would start up and spring
out of bed. Again and again this was re-
peated. Unger said in closing: Il don't
know, but it don't seem that 1 did it. |
don't seem to be awake. | am a miserable
man. | seem to be dreaming ever since.
| certainly did it in self defense. / can't
blame myself. | am a miserable man."
After a recess Unger was cross-exam-
ined, and he again described the fracas
infinitely and without the slightest varia-
ton from his former relation, and as he
described and enacted his part in the fight
Unger's face was a study. At the mo-
ment when he was relating, with uplifted
arm. how he held the arm of Bohle, who
had butcher knife in his hand, there
was an expression of hard exertion and
trial of strength in Unger's face, and when
he, in his memory, ran from the furious
Bohle, who was after him with a knife,
and told how he stopped and with one
hand ON the bedroom door reached half
behind him with the other hand for the
hammer in the tool chest. to keep his
eyes on his assallant meanwhile, there was
that frightened, hurried, terrible look
which one might expect to see on the face
of one in that scene. lie said: Il didn't
know | would grab the hammer. There
were irons there and | might throw q
piece of iron at him" As he struggled
to hold Bodies right arm aloft and to
strike with the hammer he said: Il
knew | was gone if-he got his arm loose
with that knife, and | struck him in the
forehead; and then, as he pulled me across
the room, trying to get his hand loose, |
hit him on top Of the head. He staggered
and fell back on the sofa. There were a
few witches or jerks of his arms and legs,
and that was all"
Terrible Terrible /" 1t was Juror
Ryan in the box who broke the deathly
stiffness by this exclamation, uttered in a
hoarsc whisper, unconsciously and inyol-
unfairly. He expressed the thought of
every hearer of Unger's tale. At the re-
quest of his lawyer Unger looked the jury
.squarely and uniinchingly in the face and
said: II have told you all | know about
it."
New YORK. Feb. l9.-The jury in the
case of Capt. Unger, who killed August
Bohle, have returned a verdict Of guilty
of manslaughter in the first degree" He
was sentenced to twenty years.

1t is to be hoped that the Legislature
at its coming session Will take broad

the institution to the plane which all
desire it to occupy. We don't like to
confess it, but the facts compel the sd
mission, that the University is little II
anything more than an ordinary high

KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.

One day last week a brief telegram
from Cincinnati announced the killing.
oy electric shock, of Stage Manager
O'Connell, OF a theatre there. None Of
The particulars we're given. beyond the
fact that be was in the act of ringing
down the curtain at the time. Easte n
papers bring full accounts of the trsg
edy. 1t seems that another man
narrowly escaped death from the same
cause. The examination made after
the accident, showed that The insulation,
material from one electric light wire
was worn of at place where i, touched
a metal speaking tube running to the
prompter's box. The electric circuit
was also grounded to a zinc covered box
covering the gas stop cocks near the
prompter's stand. It was raw. damp
day which seems to have established
good connection between the
wire and the speaking tu5e.
In attempting to ring down
the curtain O'Connen rested one
hand on the uncovered box and
with the other touched the speaking
tube, thus establishing circuit through
his own body. The instant he touched
the tube he fell to the floor, uttering
the command, king down the cur
tain." He died in few minutes. "a
stage hand who undertook to obey the
order did exactly as O'Conneu had
done, and was knocked down with
great force, but fortunately was not
hurt, except that his hands were
severely burned at the points where
they had touched the tube Or the ENC.
How one of the papers could say that
no one was to blame, because had lit
been a dry day it is extremely probable
that it would not have occurred" is
difficult to understand. Somebody
must have been to blame for placing the
electric wire in contact with the speak
ing tube which was in use in damp as
we'll as in dry weather. Accidents OF this
character have been rare, considering
the prevalence of the electric wires and
the want of care to prevent contact
with them. The law should step in to
compel the doing of what individuals
neglect.

IdahO,s Brave Girl.

A year ago wonderful story of the
gallant fight of Theresa Tallert with
mountain lions while defending her
flock of Angora goats on the Little Lost
river, was circulated far and wide in
American and French papers. The
story set forth how late one evening in
her cabin in the foothills of eastern
racing around in the stockade adjoin-
ing. How she arose. and with hand
AK and her dog Badger, she stole out in
the moonlight to find the lions in pur-
suit of her goats. How, nothing daunt-
ed, she attacked them, and cut one to
the bone with her ax, injured Others
and causing the whole, some six in all,
| to flee over the stockade wall.
But the next morning the brave girl
discovered that the throats of many of
her herd had been cut, for fifty of them
lay dead on the ground.
"'Well, our girls been making anoth-
er record. said A. j. Bruner, of Hous-
ton, Idaho, to an Examiner man yester-
day, land she got in her work in fine

heads together and organized posse

many and pretty well timed them out,
it was thought. For some months
thereafter there were few of them seen
around, and these we're very wary.
''Lately, however, the lions have
come to the front. The foothills have
seemed to be swarming with them.
They again invaded the stocks AIDES and
sucked the blood of the goats, whose
throats they cut.
miss Tallert, who had lost some
more of her flock, and knew that the
lions came around there quite often at
night. got couple of big Winchesters,
and loaded them with buckshot few
nights ago; then she dug out the chink-
ing between the logs on the side of her
cabin next to the stockade, and from
this port-hole she took up her station.
"Well, in five nights in this way she
killed thirteen mountain lions, and she
says she is not through with them yet.
"Her herd of goats comprises some
five hundred in all, and perhaps thirty
or fifty have been killed in the last
month or two"
Miss Tallert is German girl who
has been ranching on the Little Lost
river for three or four years. The
country round there is good for An

WAY up"

Mr.. f. Horn, of candy, cake, and
ice cream reputation, was not salts
fed with feeding the people with
delicious edibles at the Odd Fellows
party, last night; but he must get
in a second edition of the good
work, this morning, the field chosen
in the latter case being the BULLETIN
Office. Horn does not profess to
possess the power of working mira
Giles, nevertheless he has some secret
power of producing wonderfully
fascinating flavers to his ice cream
and cake, which tempt one to be
gluttonous. Then there is some
thing in the Observation-Disclosures of the
supply which borders upon the
miraculous. The containers that
came to the Office to-day, were
drawn from by everybody in the
premises, except Brown, who was at
the Court reporting, and got left
again, and yet the supply was not
exhausted. Everybody smacked
his chops, wished he had larger
stomach, and expressed the decided
opinion that "Horn's Ice Cream and
Cake are way up: number one !:
cannot be beaten" Thanks for
remembering our birthday. We
shall have another soon!

s10RY'S VISION AND MS STATUE.

Story's last statue, "A Christ" is
an original and beautiful conception.
The dress is that of an Arab; the
cetoneth, or under garment, rich and
full, bound round the waist with
soft sash; and the neil, an upper
one, q mantle, which was the seam
less garment we read that our Lord
wore. On the head is the kiftyeh,
or scarf, bound around by tillet,
which forms visor-like framing
above the brow; the ends of this kif-
tyeh fall over the shoulders and
cover the long hair which you see
under the shadow of its folds; this is
the napkin, as the English transla-
ton of the Bible calls it, which was
taken off, folded and laid beside our
Lord in the grave. This costume is
most effective, for it has the rich
deep folds of the Oriental quadrangle
lar mantle, and is probably exactly
like the dress our Savior wore.
The person is that of a young man,
tall, thin, but not emaciated. The
right hand is extended, as ii summon
ing you to approach. The left hand
rests gently on the drapery of the
breast. They are long, slender, re-
fined, Oriental hands, modelled with
feeling and delicacy. The face is
singularly tender and noble; hand
some. with fine brow and beautiful
features. The eyes have wonderful
outlook, spiritual and as If they saw
far beyond mortal gaze. The ex-
